New HBO NOW Releases: May 2016

Most subscribers will still be focused on Game of Thrones, but for those who don’t spend every waking second thinking about Westeros, May’s offerings on HBO NOW include some high quality moviefilms. Noah Baumbach fans should make sure they catch Mistress America starring Greta Gerwig, and Wachowskis partisans can watch their bonkers sci-fi movie Jupiter Ascending. Plus, masochists of all shapes and sizes can enjoy the disastrous Fantastic Four reboot. There’s literally something for everyone!

In the older film department, you’ve got John Travolta and Nic Cage facing off in, uh, Face/Off, Samuel L. Jackson fighting snakes on a plane in, uh, Snakes on a Plane, and Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton hanging out in the best little whorehouse in Texas in, uh, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. (That movie’s actually a lot of fun!) And if you’ve got HBO NOW and been slacking on watching Liam Neeson’s Run All Night or the entire Robocop trilogy, now’s the time; all of those movies expire at the end of May.
